This Stouffer‘s Spinach Soufflé copycat is the perfect side dish for the holidays or a weeknight meal made with frozen spinach, cream and Parmesan!

Classic Side Dish Recipes like my Morton’s Creamed Spinach are popular on the site because people LOVE the nostalgic flavors they’ve enjoyed before. The decadent, yet easy flavors are always on repeat in our house. If you like that copycat, you are going to love my spot-on copy of Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé.

STOUFFER‘S SPINACH SOUFFLE

My Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé is a gourmet take on the frozen veggie meal, and is incredibly quick and easy to make. This is a beloved side dish not only for the holiday season, but all year round, without preservatives and in triple the size so the whole family can enjoy it!

While I love the nostalgia of classic frozen Stouffer’s meals (lasagna anyone?), I wanted to make a version for my family that captured all the flavor without loading it with less than tasty ingredients like soybean oil, preservatives, and “spice”. This recipe for Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé is very rich and complex, yet has such simple cooking instructions. And while we do include Spice, it is spices like nutmeg, which adds an immediate flavor of the holidays to your dinner!

The nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, and salt play off of the bitter, rich flavor of the baby spinach, making this fantastic source of dietary fiber and vitamin C taste balanced and savory. Trust me, after one bite of this easy, decadent dish, you won’t be missing that microwave classic.

Spices: You can add morespices to play with the flavor of the soufflé. Remember to start small and work your way up to avoid overpowering the dish. Try adding paprika or cumin, or increasing the amount of red pepper and nutmeg, to give the dish a bolder flavor.

Cheese: Try topping the soufflé off with some shreddedmozzarella, a second layer of cheese makes it even richer. For a creamier, more decadent dish, make cream cheese spinach soufflé by adding about 4 oz of softened cream cheese to the mixture before baking.

Low-Carb: If you want to make a Keto Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé, switch out the all-purpose flour and heavy cream for Keto-friendly items like almond flour and cottage cheese or cream cheese. This will also make the dish gluten-free.

Baby Soufflés: Make individual baby Spinach Soufflés by dividing the mixture into six ramekins (or large muffin tin) and baking for 25-30 minutes or until the middle is set.

I made this and it was quick and easy. I remember when I tried Stouffers Spinach Souffle it was a little sweet so I looked up the ingredients and it has sugar in it… so when I made it I altered it a little because my hubby is a diabetic.

Thank you for the Stouffer’s spinach copycat recipe. Can I use fresh spinach? I have all the rest of the ingredients and bought fresh spinach yesterday that I want to use. I love Stouffer’s version but I am always looking for an at-home recipe. I love trying suggestions from professionals, like you.
